Celluloid Critics Consensus

What is Can This Love Be Translated? about?

A gifted multilingual interpreter who lives by precision is hired to shadow a superstar actress who communicates almost entirely in chaos, and their working truce frays into something warmer as a globe-hopping shoot drags them from Seoul to Italy to Canada. The Hong sisters' twelve-episode Netflix rom-com, directed by Yoo Young-eun, trades on the gap between what is said and what is meant — asking whether feelings survive translation when two people keep choosing the wrong words in five languages.

Can This Love Be Translated? Review: The Hong Sisters Find Romance Between the Lines

Can This Love Be Translated? pairs Kim Seon-ho's steady warmth with Go Youn-jung's live-wire star turn in a globetrotting rom-com that glows when its leads share the frame and sags whenever the plot tries to do more than let them.

A soothing, gorgeously shot comfort watch for rom-com devotees and fans of either lead. Forgive the saggy middle and the overstuffed subplots, and it rewards you.
